According to the New Testament, there is no earthly head of the church, and therefore each congregation of the Churches of Christ are autonomous. Therefore, there is no policy-making board, congress or convention to declare an "official" version of the Bible for use in Churches of Christ.
However, most members of the Church of Christ would place confidence in the King James Version, New King James Version, the American Standard Version and the New American Standard Version. Gaining more acceptance in recent years has been the English Standard Version. Most members that I know find some potential problems using versions like the NIV, The Living Bible and versions that simply paraphrase the thought rather than directly translate the Greek and Hebrew words in which The Bible was written.
